About ten years ago there was a short lived series called Justice. It was a typical defence attorney show with one twist: in the last segment the viewer was shown what really happened. Sometimes the accused was 100% guilty and the “heroes” of the show got him off. It was an interesting twist on the typical legal drama where every defendant is falsely accused.
The Wild Bill Hickok TV series of the fifties had an episode where the good looking guy turned out to be the bad guy, and the ugly guy was the good guy. Guy Madison advised us young viewers to not use looks in determining who is who.
I was gobsmacked.
